So it sounds like the turbo has blown in my 2010 i30cw crdi manual, 250k km on the clock!
Made a loud whine noise when I accelerated then lost power, accompanied by a LOT of smoke
I was reading a previous thread where someone got an aftermarket one for about $650 then installation was about $500.. Fingers crossed i can do the same
Is there any chance of other engine parts blowing with the turbo? It sounds awful but I'm guessing no turbo throws everything out..
Getting towed to the mechanic tomorrow

Sorry to hear that! Hopefully no other damage and you can pick up a 2nd hand one with some warranty! :fingers:
-
I'm positive replacement is the only viable solution but as a hypothetical, and somewhat related to your question, what would it take to tidy it up and make it driveable without the turbo? :undecided:
-
An ecu reprogram probably never designed that way. Most are looking for more Kw's, not less.
-
If you're lucky it's the pressure hose broken or fallen off somewhere between the turbo and the inlet manifold.... :Good_luck:
-
No good, looks like the motor is seized : :undecided:
Managed to pick up a motor for $1050 delivered off ebay with the current 15% off.. 89k on the clock
But the mechanic is quoting $1800 to do the swap !!
At least it will be good then ... lesson learnt never buy a high KM car, even if it is all highway KM!
-
What was the cause of the seized motor? Had the turbo been making a whistle noise for a while?

Jordie, what you are talking about is entirely different to what has happened here.
happyantix said was accellerating when it happened. what your talking about is if a diesel does not stop when you turn it off. as when you turn off the diesel fuel is shut off if it is stillk runing it would be running off the engine oil. But that can NOT happen to an I30 CRDi as the have a vacuum safety shut off that works a butterfly that is similar to a trotle body that shuts air intake off. diesels just run on a full bore of air the speed is controlled by the fuel, that is how they can keep runing off the motor oil, as a diesel can run on oil , But it needs air too!!!!
well i could not say how this motor seized , normally if you seize a motor up you come to a skidding stop as motor stops turning. i think could have swallowed something , but you can't say without looking in the motor.
Happyantix how high ( how many rev's ) was motor revving at? and how many revs would be the highest you rev the motor when you drive?

It still had oil in it (but was on the low end of the stick) , I think some part of the turbo broke and fell into the engine? I didn't notice any different turbo noise except the whining right before it totally failed, and it was only very recently serviced, I don't rev it much above 3k rpm maybe 4k Max
Remember it had over 250k km on the engine
I have had engines swapped out before and it didn't cost over $1000,the mechanic said they need to remove quite a lot from underneath the car to get it out hence why it costs so much with the i30

I'd be getting a couple of other quotes for the swap over!

Blown turbo and seized engine after oil change and service. They probably done something wrong.
Maybe wrong size of oil filter? There is 120 and 104 mm filters.
